Sfakia, Crete: plan your holidays

Get acquainted with the natural colour, culture, history and traditions of the region, the hospitality is legendary

The region of Sfakia,
in the southwest of the island of Crete, is part of Chania province,
and for Crete is quite unique as an area that is still untouched
by mass tourism. It mainly consists of mountains up to 2453 metres
high, fertile planes and small villages along the coast and in the
mountains in traditional Cretan style. Its small capital Chora Sfakion,
also called Sfakia, has 450 inhabitants, and 2 small harbours. for the fishing boats and the ferries to other villages. Most villagers live as shepherd,
or fisherman, or they grow olives. There are also several family
run small hotels and sea front tavernas, and a few shops.

The Sfakia region has about 2,500
inhabitants, and is famous for its history of resistance against
invaders, impressive nature, very hospitable people, splendid weather,
quiet beaches with crystal clear sea water, good home-cooked food and wine,
and its marvellous opportunities to walk along the coast, hike
in the mountains, and go through the many gorges that cross
the mountains. The famous Samaria gorge, Europe's biggest, lies in Sfakia.

The area is quiet, being end of the road. It is laidback, but never sleepy. You can reach Sfakia by car, public bus, taxi, ferry, or on foot. Sfakia, in the southwest
of Crete, is Europe's southernmost point.

At the quiet west side of the village of Chora
Sfakion, directly at Vrisi Beach, the village beach, Giannis and Nataliya, with
their daughter Zoe, and the Kouridakis family, with mother Georgia, and the cook Lily, run their beautiful
taverna and holiday accommodation The Three Brothers. The family are fishermen, so fresh fish and other sea food are their specialty.
